Scream, I have a dream
A dream it would seem
Worth the cost of men
Worth the lost women
Never should there been
The immoral sin
Of men owning men
Pass legislation
Of obligation
To rid the nation
Of hate sensation
But you can’t omit
Hate we won’t admit
So, our nation marched
Our brave heroes marked
Targeted for hate
“Equality” stated
Sit in’s and boycotts
Run, don’t you get caught
Avoid the hoses
Dogs, batons; Moses
Of all the people
Leading to steeples
Pray for their freedom
Dream to be free from
The unjust treatment
Oppression relent
Diversity
University
Schools integrating
Congress debating
Debate human rights
Losing humane sight
Today, we struggle
To shake the troubled
Thoughts and attitude
That plague multitudes
Spread equality
People of quality
Share love through kindness
Don’t embrace blindness
Let’s face the problem
Be a peace emblem
Don’t be silent, scream
Join the masses, dream.
